Blog 1 : observations on fecal pellet abundance of the herbivores in Northern Manitoba
The observation has been based on different types of animals and the number of maximum herbivores available in the area. Different types of animals such as geese, hares, ptarmigan, and…
Post 6: Data Collection
Sample site: McArthur Island Park was the location for my field data collections, with my specific sampling site being the water around/beneath a popular walking bridge. My sample units were…
Post 9- Field Research Reflections
My field research was conducted in the backyard. It was interesting to design a field experiment and carry it out. Initially designing was challenging as I wanted to focus on…
Post 8- Tables and Graphs
To measure the effect of slope, sunlight, and water on the growth of grass, I have decided to measure the effect individually on 10 quadrats for each effect. I have…
Post 7- Theoretical Perspectives
Hypothesis- The distribution and growth of grass are influenced by slope, water, and sunlight. Theoretical basis of my research project Although this might vary based on the overall topography of…
Theorectical perspectives
I want to focus on the holdfasts of my algae. These are the root-like structures that allow algae to attach to surfaces such as rocks. I believe there must be…
Data Collection
I have visited two sites in the creek and collected five flow rate measurements for each. The one problem I see myself having is keeping track of where I have…
REFLECTIONS
My study looks at the relationship between water availability along a moisture gradient and its role in influencing vegetation spatial organization patterns within my study area Baldry Creek Park. Another…
Design reflections
My sampling strategy was haphazard because I tried to show a gradient of flow rates. So I tried to choose areas with slow, moderate and high flow rates. This was…
Post 6- Data Collection
The backyard is my sample unit, and 10 quadrats were my subsamples. I sampled 10 replicates for three consecutive days. On day 1, during the morning 9 am, on day…
